  • Plans updated: Pay-per-use: public models billed by time (e.g. CPU $0.000100/sec, Nvidia T4 $0.000225/sec, Nvidia L40S $0.000975/sec, Nvidia A100 80GB $0.001400/sec) or by input/output (e.g. flux-1.1-pro $0.04/image, deepseek-r1 $0.01/1K output tokens). Private models billed for all online time including idle.

  • Rapid model prototyping: Query hundreds of open-source and commercial models (LLMs, image generators, video models) via a single unified API without provisioning GPU infrastructure
  • Fine-tuning pipelines: Use Replicate's fine-tuning API to adapt supported models to custom datasets, then serve the fine-tuned version immediately
  • Custom model deployment: Package proprietary models with Cog, push to Replicate, and expose them as scalable API endpoints with automatic scale-to-zero
  • Cost-optimized inference: Leverage per-second or per-token billing to avoid over-provisioning; public model deployments incur zero cost at idle
  • Multi-modal applications: Combine image (e.g., flux-1.1-pro), LLM (e.g., deepseek-r1), speech, music, and video models within a single application using consistent API patterns across providers including Google, Anthropic, xAI, Alibaba, and others
